My GOODNESS! There has been so MUCH participation in the naming of our little pullet! 267 (and counting) comments, many with SEVERAL name suggestions! And that doesn't include the numerous emails I received as well! You're all so fun for playing along! And you came up with fantastic names!!
Thank you, thank you for all the FUN suggestions! I can't tell you how many belly laughs we have had reading every SINGLE one of them, and taking them all into consideration. We even got plenty of good names for some of the other girls in the coop too! And for that, I'm EXTRA grateful!
I've decided on a name for our little gal. The name was suggested by Mary Ann Kelemen... I'm delighted to introduce Tipsy Frizzlewinkle!
There MANY other names that were so close... here are a few that *almost* got chosen...
Pwaula Pinecone (as said with a Boston accent) was a close second, suggested by Renee's kids. Renee made sure to mention the Boston accent for pronunciation, and went on to say that she and her kids live in Kansas... Hahaa! What a crack up!!
Pinecone, for obvious reasons... Prickles, Phillis, June Bug, and one that topped the charts from my Dad was Edith Ann, like, one ringy dingy, two ringy dingy, Lilly Tomlin's strange operator from Laugh In. So MANY fun suggestions...it was a difficult decision!
I really can't tell you how much FUN this was for us! Thank you for playing along! And Tipsy thanks you too! Cheep cheep!
Mary Ann, drop me a note -- I've got a little something to send you for your winning suggestion!
LOVE IT!! www.whatupduck.com

Oh how I would love to have a Frizzle Chick! It really does look like a pine cone, just amazing. I'm sure my other chicks would just love one. And the baby donkey is too cute. When our miniature donkey had her baby it was such a special experience, and I can't believe what long legs and ears the baby donkey's have! They are adorable...ours name is Freddy:)
